Hey Grant, what's up with the Starbucks cap? Did he ask to prepare his caramel macchiatos as well? ; )

Very cool David.

For those in the Memphis, TN area. If you want your racquet strung by Grant go bye or call String-N-Swing and he'll string your sticks. If you want to be sure he's your stringer call in advance to make sure he's there and not on the road.

Grant, You are still working there, right?

My son Drew is crawling all over me. He wants me to say "Hi" to Mr. Grant for him.

I just saw the video for the first time. Why did someone not tell me I am that fat!!!
As most of you know by now I am not working for Andy anymore. Yes I do miss him but I am 36 and would like to start a family. So the road is not the place for that. I have talked to him about 5 times since he went down and I did his practice rkts from Memphis while he was training before he went to OZ. I am still stringing for the Davis Cup team and Andy is coming to Memphis for our little ATP tournament. So I will see him 3 or 4 times a yr. He is no longer my boss. Now he is my friend. I am now at String N Swing in Memphis. I am going to slowly take over the shop. It has been in biz for 30 yrs. The old owner and now Manager is Paul Fultz. He got me started stringing 16 yrs ago. I really have got it great. My old mentor is back in my life and one of my best friends is the #2 player in the world. I know I have said this before but Andy really is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
andfor tell Drew I said hi. Hope to see you at the shop soon.

Starbucks hat? Bah! My allegiance does not go to them, but rather HKS and Mitsubishi(for my Evo 8). The dreads are now gone for the time being, but the facial jewelry remains, and if you want me to do a restring for you, drop me a line,....

Is that you I saw street racing in East Hampton in a barf green Evo 8 with lambo doors last weekend? I swear I've seen a Babolat sticker on the spoiler.

Funny David! Nice choice on cars! I looked at the Cooper S, but Haberstad wanted more than what I paid for my Evo for a Cooper, which was as far as I am concerned a no brainer as to what to go for. Mine's the yellow one with carbon bonnet, ralliart sunstrip, and HKS drianpipe exhaust spitting flames from the back on occasion prowling the LIE

Grant, will you take good care of JMG for me while he's in Memphis, please? He needs all the help he can get right now (don't tell him I said so). Hope he hasn't switched over to the O3 by then, but I've seen a promo photo and I think it may be about to happen.

Well, he's been telling me about it since about October when I tried to convince him to get a Tour Harrier DB for me during his trip to Japan . Told me not to upgrade my Warrior until I tried one out. I suppose they will be all over San Jose since Prince is a major sponsor now and I can take a look there. I just don't think its the right type of racquet for me personally.
